The National Waterfront Museum in Swansea is hosting an exhibition of glass art to celebrate the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Entitled Games, the exhibition is a collaboration between the museum, Swansea School of Glass at Swansea Metropolitan University and the British Society of Master Glass Painters

After receiving more than 60 entries, 37 panels were chosen to be displayed in the exhibition

The selected panels were chosen by a team of four judges from the Swansea School of Glass, the National Museum of Wales, the British Society of Master Glass Painters and the Mission Gallery in Swansea

The exhibition coincides with both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which officially begin on Friday, 27 July and Wednesday, 29 August respectively

Wales will host the first event of the London 2012 Olympics, with women's football matches kicking off at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 25 July, two days before the opening ceremony in London

The exhibition will be officially opened during a private viewing by Gwyn L Williams, the Creative Programmer for Wales for London 2012, on Saturday
